Abstract:

A treelength processor which tops and delimbs trees by processing from the top of the tree toward the bottom. The treelength processor operates from fellerbuncher piles and processes close to the stumps so that residual material is relatively easily distributed in the forest away from the loading area and substantial reduction in skidder use and chain saw activity is achieved.
